The Physis Foundation

The Physis Foundation is a Swiss non-profit organisation. It has been founded in 2014.

The Physis Foundation is a Swiss non-profit organization established in 2014 (Link to registration).  It was founded by its president, Dr. Klaus Schustereder, a practising physician (General Internal Medicine, FMH) in Switzerland, as a result of his worldwide experiences in medicine.

From 2005 to 2007, Dr. Schustereder worked as a doctor in the Central African Republic.  While there, and for months after returning to Europe, he personally experienced a total of 13 bouts of malaria.  This health challenge opened his eyes to the huge problem with malaria and other common infectious diseases.

According to Dr. Schustereder, low-income countries require innovative healthcare approaches that differ from the usual Western mindset.  Treatments must be:

• Cheap
• Simple
• Safe
• Effective

Ideally, new technologies allow low-income countries to become more autonomous on the economic level and support human defence systems in a systemic way. This means therapy must address the somatic and psychological level of the patient). The principles of homoeopathy treatment are of particular interest as they correspond to systemic thinking. Despite the controversy about homoeopathy, the results that could be achieved over a period of almost 20 years speak for themselves.

Increasing economic autonomy in health care and triggering systemic amelioration of the people suffering from epidemic disease are key parameters for long-term success in health care projects. We see that in war zones improving health care and creating a dialogue with the opposition is generating peace. We are very grateful for being able to make a contribution in such areas as peace and security are the fundamental base for any society. Orienting health care in such a direction is also a way to fight corruption, in coherence with human rights and helping to explore human potential.

Dr. Schustereder is routinely invited to various African and Asian countries to assist in healthcare projects.
